The Spice Kids have new doggie doors. Doors plural because "their room" is the sun room. Which is reached by a patio door from the family room, and then there are four sliders off of their room to the yard. Ginger picked it up right away, Andy was a little more timid (as he is in most things). But now they use it constantly and seem very pleased with the freedom. And the huge bonus is there haven't been any more accidents in the house!

.

The opening is only 5 X 7 so I don't have to worry about humans, and now I will try not to worry about racoons. But they are closed at night, so all in all it was a good investment for us.
